Earlier this week, I took a drive over to Michigan City, Ind. to hang out in a swamp with a class of sixth graders studying Environmental Science. Pretty cool, right? It was one of those somewhat rare moments as a photojournalist where you pinch yourself and ask, “Do I really get paid to do this for a living?” The pictures might not reflect my enthusiasm until you consider my usual Monday: waiting around in the office and building mugs. Walking around in the woods making pictures beats sitting in the office any day in my book. The reason I was there was to get a hands-on look at what an Environmental Science magnet school looks like for a story about a South Bend school considering becoming one.
